Select Sprint Cup Series races will be shown on the new Fox Sports 1 channel starting in 2015, the network announced in a news release Tuesday.

Fox Sports 1, a cable network that will take the place of Speed beginning Aug. 17 and is Fox’s attempt to rival ESPN, will have select Cup races among the first 13 events of the season starting with 2015.

Fox Sports Media Group has the rights to those 13 races, and the news release Tuesday did not indicate which of those races will move from network television to cable.

NASCAR officials confirmed when the Fox 2015-2022 deal was announced last October that the Daytona 500 will remain on network television.

Fox Sports 1 will have NASCAR, baseball, UFC, soccer and college sports as its main programming.

It will include former programming from Speed, including Cup practice and qualifying sessions, Camping World Truck Series races as well as practice and qualifying, the Sprint All-Star Race, Daytona 500 qualifying and the Budweiser Duels. The Sprint Unlimited will be on Fox Sports 1 in 2014 and 2017-2022.

Speed shows such as NASCAR RaceDay, NASCAR Victory Lane and Race Hub will be added to the Fox Sports 1 lineup. Race Hub, typically a 6 p.m. Eastern show on Speed, will move to midday.
